I have just bought an unlocked T-Mobile version of HD2. I have not seen a way to enter my owner information - something required for registration key of a lot of software. Is this deliberately left out of the T-Mobile ROM? What am I missing?

Another way

You can unhide Owner information function in Registry

Go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner\Hide

in the registry and change the 1 to a 0

Do a soft reset

Now go to Settings>All Settings>Personal

Here you will find the previously missing file "Owner Information".

I am getting the Evo next week and im wondering, I have app monster on my hero, if I copy my files from my hero SD card to my Evo SD card, will I be able to get all my apps back through app monster?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nanan00:
Use titanium backup to archive the apps on one phone, copy directory from hero to evo, recover apps on evo.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
I think that should work, but I don't know if AppMonster preserves market links, meaning after you install them they might not be scanned by the Android market for easy updates and integration.

If you're rooted, Titanium Backup is the most preferred, as it preserves not only the app installs and market links, but also app data and settings. It's free, too. Of course don't back up the system data since it's going to a different phone.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruki_Uki:
Alright imma download titanium and use that instead. Thanks a lot! :-)

All the SPLs I see for unrestricted Fastboot flashing are for GSM or for other models. I really don't want to brick my Hero testing them out. Is there an equivalent SPL for the CDMA Hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shokkapic:
As many of you know, there have been some complaints regarding the flashing of new ROMs.

Those complaints were about the fact that mobile data is enabled by default and some users, like me, pay a small price everytime a new ROM is flashed. :)

I decided to do something about it, so I created two scripts to prevent it (Windows and Linux versions).

Requirements:

- ADB (can be downloaded, via attachments.)

- Your device, connected to the PC via USB.

Installation instructions:

- Download and unzip your ADB version, if needed.

- Unzip the downloaded .zip to the same folder of ADB.

- Flash a new ROM. Reboot.

- Run the script (double-click on Windows, via Terminal on Linux - you might need to chmod +x it).

- Follow on-screen instructions.

disable_mobile_data .zip information:

It contains two files. The script and a blank file.

The script pushes the blank file to /system/etc/apn-conf.xml before the PIN1 input window.

This way, during the tutorial, the device will not be able to connect to the Internet, through Mobile Data.

After disabling Mobile Data in the tutorial and finishing it, the script pushes the previous version of apn-conf.xml and reboots the device.

I've uploaded both version of ADB (Windows and Linux), if you don't want to install Android SDK. :D

PS: During the tutorial 3G and H arrows will appear on the top bar, but they will disappear 2 seconds later, because they can't connect. :D

Edit: It is supposed to work with all the devices, and maybe with all the versions of Android. Help me testing it.

Edit2: I want to thank Lenny, from VillainROM, for helping me with the Linux script.

Have fun.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rfgamaral:
I'm one of those complainers...

However, and I don't want to take away your credit from doing this trying to help people like us... I found out the other day that you can long press the end-call button and disable the mobile network from there before inputting PIN1.

:o

You'll never get charged if you do it before inputting the pin... However, the search for some hidden setting on some hidden file inside the ROM to disable this in the ROM itself continues... :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shokkapic:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidorulz:
is there such an app?

Ive been looking everywhere for this and cant find it. Seems it would be something already done since many battery apps do the same thing and show a percentage.

The app would need to simply take the info from the status info on the phone and display it instead of signal bars
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namuna:

I'd also rather see a db or snr number, instead of bars.

Are there any widgets that report dB levels of reception? I agree that replacing the signal bars would be best, but as a stop-gap solution a widget would do perfectly well for me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GNja:
If rooted, it's an option in CM6, at least in the nightly build since 0715. It doesn't replace the signal bars, it's in addition to them.

Real Signal

Check out "Real Signal" on the market - been using it for a little over a week.

It doesn't replace your bars, but it gives you a 2G and 3G "accurate" bar reading on the left of your notification bar, and by sliding your drawer down it will show you the dB levels for the type of signal.

It's a great little utility.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidorulz:
Sliding down only shows me some random numbers nothing in terms of db which would normal be like -85 and stuff. Shows like [Signal:20][low:16][High:21]
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidorulz:
CM6 RC2 has it built in now. So far like this option very much

Unfortunately, Real Signal doesn't appear to be available for Donut (or I don't see it in my market at least).

However, I have been using Signal Strength Widget for a few weeks and it works well (though I'd prefer notification bar access). You can find it in the following thread, though release posts are muddled among the rest:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidel1029:
If you are rooted and have the Xposed framework, you can entirely change the bars to numbers. Launch the Xposed installer, go to Download, and look for a module called NetStrenth. It looks funky at first, but you just have to make a few changes in the settings for it.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xdaorbit:
Hiya,

My GF just bought the X10 Mini and loves it, I have to say I'm quite impressed. BUT, there seems to be an issue which has upset her and annoyed me. We can't download any apps from the marketplace. Its just says "starting download" and thats as far as it gets ;O(

Anyone else have this prob or not with the X10 Mini or any fixes?

Cheers in advance.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ronaldb:
I have experienced the same thing on my X10 mini pro. The solution for me has been to cancel the download and choose to install it once more immediatly. But it is a strange bug.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] spatuluk:
I used to experience this when my phone was new, but it's a lot better these days.

Have you tried turning the phone off and on again? I know it sounds really cliched, but it can sometimes work. My phone sometimes decides that it doesn't want to charge, and turning it off makes it change its mind.

None of the above methods will work.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ayewhy:
Hmm, you have background data enabled correct? I am sure Market does not startup unless you have it enabled. Meanwhile you could try an alternative to the Google Market, got some info on it in my blog here.

Try to disable the wifi and use 3G? Perhaps also check that your SD card is properly connected. Might be worth trying a factory reset too if you still cannot solve this.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zachslavin:
I reset my battery stats 2 days ago after doing a full charge and drain and full charge again my battery is at 94% after 1 hour. My time without signal is only 3%, phone idle is 42%, and only 15 minutes without sleeping. Does this sound normal or am I being anal?

Sent From My Hero!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
That kind of sounds like mine. Extrapolating the percentage loss over time for me almost always yields a rate of about 100%/24 hours discharge, +/- 3 hours depending on use. I've always been concerned about the battery, especially after hearing so many people saying they get almost 48 hours on a single charge with moderate/heavy use :(

My battery is new. My Hero is less than a month old, but I haven't put on a custom ROM yet. I think a custom ROM and kernel is supposed to help. Mine is rooted and running SetCPU with profiles. I found that whenever my phone felt hot (which is a lot of the time, actually), it's usually an indication that battery is draining fast. I also read many peoples' Hero's run very cool, and don't get that warm when charging. Mine can get pretty warm when charging, close to 40C, and 42-43C when using while charging. These observations have caused me to wonder if my battery is bad, or if newer Heros are somehow different from old ones. Does this sound like yours?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riggsandroid:
I've learned that the battery usage is not linear.

So dont' worry about 1 hr sampling of your battery, use a minimum of 4-6 hrs and if it still losing 5%/hour after that w/out much use, then you may have an issue, but I wouldn't worry about it.

I will try to cover any info you might need. I am using windows 7, my phone had 1.5 originally 1.47 hboot. I got the 2.1 official ota.

On monday, I rooted using the pb00img.zip, loaded amon-ra 1.6.2, did factory/data wipe, dalvik wipe, flashed kaos v20, boot looped, tried v.19 with full and dalvik wipe, same.

I have tried all version of kaos from 19-23, evileris 3, celb, cyanogenmod 6. All have the same boot loop, I have done the following:

Reloaded the pb file

Reloaded amon-ra

Have tried manually wiping data and dalvik using adb shell

I have formatted my sd card through windows

I have partitioned my card through amon-ra

Here is a pastebin of my bootup.

http://pastebin.com/SMhKDYZq

The phone starts up with the 3 skateboarding droids, sits there for a bit, screen goes black, i get a little vibrate, then the 3 skaters come back, rinse and repeat.

I have dont have apps2sd, or setcpu. Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Did you ever create a nand backup? If so, go back to it first and verify you don't have a hardware issue.

It's all fear mongering. It's the same protection as Milestone devices and the Droid. All of them have the OMAP3 eFuse.

The response from Motorola was that it wouldn't "brick" the phone, but if the efuse was triggered it would render the phone unusable until it was repaired with motorola software. Which pretty much means the folks here at XDA will likely find a way around the efuse without too much trouble

I bet someone will leak the "motorola software" just like the RUU's have been leaked from HTC.

[Hero CDMA General] Androidious:
Wow Motorola, way to go... u just scared off about 3/4 of u'r customers right there. Talk about BS limiting a user on what he/she is able to load on to HIS/HER own phone. Ridiculous!
[Hero CDMA General] subcypher:
It's not FUD. It may not "brick" the phone, but it's another attempt to stop the end user, the person that legally purchased the phone, from tinkering with it. Just as the quote I posted above says, they're not inventors. They are profiteers afraid of people, at home, doing what they do better than them.

My friend and I had this conversation the other day. He stated that Sprint has a right to protect their network and any phone they sell you with a discount for buying a plan. He is correct, to a point. Sprint doesn't want us using our phones for more than they give us (despite claims of "unlimited" data) because they have to protect their profit margins. They also don't want us tinkering with our phones because we, tinkerers, could break them. Insurance doesn't cover "tinkering". Sprint is taking a huge up-front hit by selling us the phone as cheap as they do but they recoup that cost by locking us into 2-year contracts. They need to keep us in those contracts to turn a profit. So, I feel they have a right to protect that until the contract is up.

Or, on the other hand, those that purchase their phones outright, without contracts and without subsidies, should have the right to tinker all they like... including the consequences.
[Hero CDMA General] subcypher:
E-fuse, what?

I still don't believe it was FUD because of the reasons I mentioned above, but it was successfully bypassed.

EDIT: The e-fuse wasn't bypassed. They got root, which isn't watched by the e-fuse. Putting a new ROM on the phone would, though. Getting root is a start, though, and should allow them to figure out how the e-fuse works. Then I'm sure they can bypass it. It'll just take some more time.
